Create a personal meditation retreat

Sometimes we can't do what others expect--like publish our blog as usual--because we have to do something just for ourselves.  I have been on a personal meditation retreat at Birkin Forest Monastery in central British Columbia, and will write about my experiences creating a meditation retreat combining meditation and my visual art making using drawing projects from a new book by Mick Maslen and Jack Southern.  But right now I'm going to unpack, hug my kitties, and go continue being quiet for just a bit longer.
